I wouldn't work with a programmer who believed so strongly, against, commenting source code. In the long run, it probably saves more time than it "wastes". If someone develops proper habits writing sufficient comments, then writing them becomes less of a hassle, and more of a better business practice.

Let's not forget that writing comments and notes is not unique to computer programming. Most professions, law, medicine, must create notes, and comments to understand the work at hand. Those who don't, or refuse are looked at as lazy and unprofessional.

I don't want notes for every single line of code, but for sections of complicated code comments are a must for ease debugging, or future modifications.
